Indie Artists Supporting Other Indie Artists

Over and over again I see Indie artists supporting "A" list artists and they celebrate them for their accomplishments and purchase tickets to see them but willingly and intentionally overlook, downplay and sometime demean the artists who live, sing, work and fellowship in their own area. It's a sickness supported by the distorted idea the the "Big Name Artists" are somehow more worthy, gifted and better than your local colleagues who may or may not have big contracts, marketing and promotion teams. It's very sad and incurable.
